The company I currently work for, works with Woolrich and manufactures some of their products every now and then, I haven't been too overly impressed with the stuff their designers have been coming up with - But I am very surprised and impressed about Woolrich making wicking layer flannel shirts! Def putting some of them on the wish list!

Brilliant... interchangeable soles to make your boot work for different conditions. Korkers apparently usually makes boots for fisherman in their river wading/walking adventures, but their line of snow boots this year have another sole for good traction in icy and snowy conditions as well! Way to go Korkers I wonder how well it actually works? I guess well have to wait and see how it tests out!

Avalanche safety for Dogs.
Yay for saving dogs that love to be in the backcountry!
This little thing attaches to their collar and will transmit a signal on a certain frequency which will allow you to track it and determine the direction and distance that your pour four legged friend is buried. Apparently this came out of a situation where a dog got buried and was thought to be dead but showed up 4 days later!!! How awesome is that!!
